From TFA: "But sources knowledgeable with the case said the situation went deeper than diocese officials will publicly admit."

THIS is the farking problem! So long as the clowns in the hierarchy spend more time trying to protect their precious prestige and privilege, things will never get better. Meanwhile, the laity, who pay for the clergy's sweet set-up, are quietly checking out.

Bwahahaaa! He was former pastor at at my mom's uber-Catholic cousin's church. She called earlier in the evening to tell us the news.

Love how he had a porn shop in North Haven. That's the least disturbing part of the whole article.

Regarding his cross-dressing and entertaining men: Diocese officials consulted lawyers about the situation and were assured none of Wallin's behavior appeared illegal. While it may be legal, that probably goes against a few vows he took, and should have earned him a stern talking-to by the bishop.

I doubt it. These days, bishops only give a shiat if things go public. The whole damn system is rotten right through.

Perhaps the bishop should bend him over his knee as an act of corporal mercy and justice.

I thought that's what everyone knew "a stern talking-to by the bishop" meant?

Absolutely. Even then, it's victim blaming and "why did you make it public" bs. Fark Bishop Lori, he's a tool.

Of course, Lori got promoted, and will be a cardinal in the next 2-3 years. He's also been the lead pants-shiatter from the bishops about how Obamacare is violating Catholic religious freedom. This entire generation of bishops is nothing but asshats who got promoted by kissing Roman behind.
